CityCouncil | 2016-07-05 | 21 | Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion. Mayor Spencer stated that she supports putting the City ordinance on the ballot with revisions and keeping the sunset date; she is concerned the other initiatives would be on the ballot and the City's would not; there is confusion; citizens think the Council ordinance just dies if there is a tenant measure and a landlord measure. Councilmember Oddie stated that he is not ready to make a decision; he does not know if either initiative will qualify; one of the strengths of the City ordinance is the opportunity to fix it when it is broken; the two competing initiatives make doing so difficult; he does not think staff time should be spent on something that may be moot in three months. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the matter could come back on July 19th, to which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated two initiatives may end up on the ballot and adding a third is not necessary. In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry, the City Clerk stated the random sample check of signatures on the landlord initiative will be done by July 27th Councilmember Daysog inquired whether Council would make a decision on July 19th regarding having a regular meeting in August, to which Mayor Spencer responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Daysog stated no action regarding the landlord initiative is needed at this point. Vice Mayor Matarrese reiterated his motion to not place the City ordinance on the ballot.
